We are taking big steps in making all our local and foreign operations focus on innovation in all aspects, comply with international standards, and take best practices as their benchmarks. As a glass packaging producer of global standards, all our plants in Turkey have Quality (ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949), Environment (ISO 14001), Energy (ISO 50001), and Occupational Health and Safety (ISG 18001) Management System certificates. In all other countries where we have operations, we comply with, and usually go beyond, local requirements for compliance.
